In article number 1905809, Jaeyoung Jang and co‐workers demonstrate a novel conceptual approach to realize a self‐healable and stretchable thermoelectric energy‐harvesting material. Highly p‐doped polymer semiconductor nanowires are electrically percolated in a thermoplastic elastomer matrix, exhibiting good thermoelectric performances with a maximum power factor of 1.16 μW m −1 K −2 . In addition, the material shows excellent self‐healing properties under mild conditions of applied heat and pressure, as well as good stretchability.
